Shared SSL IP

If you would like to protect the information which visitors submit on your site, you will require an SSL certificate. The abbreviation stands for Secure Sockets Layer and that's a protocol employed to encrypt any info exchanged between a site and its users as to ensure that even if an unauthorized individual intercepts any information, they shall not be able to read or use it in any way. The present level of encryption makes it pretty much impossible to decrypt the actual content, thus if you have a login form of some sort or you offer services and products online and clients submit credit card details, using an SSL certificate shall be an assurance that the information is protected. Typically a dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL, which will increase the cost to maintain your site. The additional expense may matter when you manage a small web shop, a non-profit organization or any other entity which doesn't make a big income, so to save you the cash, our cloud web hosting platform supports installing an SSL certificate on a shared server IP address, not a dedicated one.

Shared SSL IP in Web Hosting

You will be able to use this option with all our web hosting solutions and with any SSL certificate issued from any vendor. When you prefer to work with an SSL from our company, everything can be set up automatically and you will not have to do anything after you order and approve the certificate. The SSL order wizard will permit you to choose a shared IP address to be used and the SSL to be installed by our system, so using this function requires a maximum of 2 additional clicks after you fill the required details for the certificate. The proper functioning of the SSL will not be impacted in any way and any details that visitors submit on your website will be encrypted and protected in the same exact way. The one difference from employing a dedicated address is that http:// will not open your site, but it is unlikely that anyone will ever seek to access it in this way as opposed to typing your domain inside the web browser URL bar.

Shared SSL IP in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Any SSL certificate could be used with our specially configured shared IPs, so if you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you could use this option with simply a couple of clicks when you install a certificate which you obtain through us or through another retailer. For the SSLs we offer you could also take advantage of an extra function and have our system set everything up for you. That way the instant you approve the SSL, the shared IP address shall be set for the given domain or subdomain and the certificate shall be installed without any action needed on your end, so any data that visitors submit on your site will be protected. The SSL will do the job in the exact same way irrespective if it is set on a shared or a dedicated IP and the only thing that's different between the two setups is that inputting the shared IP as a URL inside an Internet browser will not open your site.
